Not cold enough (for me anyway)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got it for my office, even all the way at its coolest (62 degrees) it was still not making ny room cool enough. And my office is less than 100 sq ft. But my husband seems to enjoy it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIts ok
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ive had better working units. Just doesnt perform like others
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUses too much Amp on such a small unit.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The product works fine and the price was good. However I did not know that a 6000 BTU unit would use up to 11 Amp, which, when turned on both units that are on the same electric circuit, the safety fuse jumps frequently. I have other units that are up to 15,000 BTU but only need maximum 9 Amp. That is a lesson learned about buying a Chinese brand!

Works, but you have to be near it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is ok. Will not cool down a room, it will cool you down if you sit near it. I bought two. One is still in the box unopened.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIf You Like to Sleep Cool, Go with the Larger Size
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not sure if it is just more humid where I placed this unit, but the condenser seems to struggle a bit. Thinking of moving it into a smaller space, and getting the larger one.

Not good enough for the money

It’ll do
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Put in a room that I think is smaller than 250 sqft and it does just enough to make it cold, but it’s definitely not that “freezing” feeling I was looking for.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks when it wants to
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have had it for a few days now. Started off good then went downhill. Set it to 64 degrees, fan and compressor would come on then no compressor just fan. Never reaching the set temperature. Or the fan would not come on but 15 minutes later it would. The room temperature was at 75 degrees so not shutting off due to reaching set temperature. Not sure what is going on. Will be returning to get a window unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDoesn't Fight Heat As Expected
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brought it to Jamaica to fight the heat on a trip and was surprisingly not able to keep the small 16x16 room cool but mildly comfortable. It was a little disappointing especially because of the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCold humid air
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not impressed with this product. I read instructions and set it up as instructed. I live in an RV and needed a little estra to help with this Texas heat. The AC does blow cold air but it makes the humidity rise unbelievably. My humidifier will read in the 40s and within minutes will rise to near 70. I tried to run it for a day or dry to see if it would settle but decided to return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendReceive Damaged AC
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I want to give this AC four stars or more, but it came damaged. The box looks fine; however, one of the sliders cracked in the middle on both sides. And the condensation valve broke halfway.
I would recommend this to a friendMisleading
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as cold as i thought. Also, definitely way of on the recommended room size. I would say more like 100 ft^2
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCuts the heat a bit, but not much
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Could be better, goes through cycles of actually blowing cold air or just kind of moving some air. Not really sure why it decides to do what it does.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOK, FOR A SMALL AREA
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn't cool my bedroom when my AC went out. But will work in a bathroom

Too much LOUD
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The AC is kinda fine. My room is not that big it means looks like fit 250 sq ft for 200 sq ft room. The problem is too LOUD. I run very low mode like slow fan and higher set up like 78. But its impossible to sleep with this sound. Even I turned off it when I having meeting on online. because noise is too high.

It’s ok. But should be better
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as cold as I’d like it. A window unit is a better way to go if you want it to feel like and ice box
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWould buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works ok doesn't really get the room as cold as o thought but it does get the area a bit cooler.
